XGaming 8-way vs. Wico 360 Joystick
MrBond:
I just ordered a pair of xgaming joysticks from Ebay as well. I needed the buttons and for the extra 10 bucks on ebay, I decided to get the joysticks as well. I have a pair of wico 8-way leaf joysticks here already though. I also have a load of leaf switch pushbuttons. I'll test them against the new microswitch ones. (Reason I need microswitch is because leaf switches require a very thin control panel, such as sheet metal, certainly not the 5/8 MDF I'm using for my upright cab CP). I'll have to test both joysticks to see which I like better.
Thought the xgaming one's looked just as good as the happs supers and were cheaper. I like the 4-way/8-way idea. Oh well, I'll have to see :D

I have built joysticks with both the Wico P360 and the Happ P360. The only difference in terms of "feel" is the spring tension. The Wico spring feels a bit lighter than the Happ. Personally, I like the Wico better.
Here's the joystick I made with the Wico http://tobywong.50megs.com

Hmm.. do you have a link to their catalog? I'm having trouble finding the wico 360 on that website :(
they work similar to the happ P360's eh? $20CDN sounds cheap.. US $ would be even lower eh??
how do they compare to the happ super? Are there any reviews on em?
